To my own surprise, I am enjoying Mos Def a lot. It all started with this track “Respiration” from the Backstar duo he is part of. Here's my discovery thread, from Steve Reich to Mos Def. “Respiration” appears on Howie B's Another Late Night. Howie B participated to the Reich:Remixed album with DJ Spooky, Ken Ishii, Andrea Parker and more geniuses.
But back to Blackstar:
After that, I decided Mos Def deserved another serious try. So I rushed to his Most Definite best-of album, and there it is: “Ms Fat Booty”. Funny as hell, tends to remind me of Cypress Hill's “Freak Bitch.”
Maybe Mos Def's appearance in Jim Jarmusch's Coffee and Cigarettes played a role in my recent interest for the American rapper.
